For the UK, let's say c. 300g/\$ in 1995 reducing to 200g/\$ in 2010. So 15 years. To go from 200g/\$ to zero at the same rate would take approx. 30 years. So net-zero by 2050?
Regardless of whether that aligns with science-based targets (i.e. absolute zero, sooner) ... what happens if the economy grows ... by say 2-3% per year? ... would that force total emissions up (fixed intensity) or result in efficiency gains (lower intensity)?
```{r}
dt_abs[, `Emissions intensity (consumption-based)` := `Annual consumption-based CO2 emissions`/`GDP, PPP (constant 2017 international $)`*1000*1000]
